THE recent election ID Indianapolis, went somewhat sskeW for the democrats and they felt sure that something had gone wrong. the republicans .hsd stuffed the ballot boxes, committed perjury. and on general principles had lied them selves into office. So an investigation was at once begun and in due course of time the corruption sewer vss tapped, when To and behold, i. WAS ss I told you. The first expose was a republican, for the swearing ID of illegal votes, and great was the democratic joy therest; but another turn of tho corruption crhnS and out tumbled two democrats, who had Dot only sworn in illegal votes, but had voted the illegal votes sworn ID. This was unlocked for. Such things cannot be. There must be a mistake somewhere, and an attempt at retro gression Sss made, but the republicans would have none of 1t. The flood gates were opened wide and the stink is in both camps and both parties are push ing thesinvestigation for all they are worth, Thus far in the game of eee-saw ns-. l- pIrt7 hl been able to keep the other side down, and before the end comes, some interesting developments are liable to te made.

GENERAL MILES, Tn his address before the Society of Arizona Pioneers, dis cGssej a question which has been urged time and again by the press of the ter Titory. It is we'll known by all who know anything about Arizona, that there are millions of acres of land that would be marvelously productive could water be supplied 10 i.. but which in its pres cnt condition is practically worthless. There are also other vast sections on the coast of which the same might be truth fully sail. Gen. Miles urges that tie government should turn it's attention Co the vast area of reproductive land by reason of a lack of water, and that some of the surplus revenue be employed az i: has been in IEdis by the British gov ernmeni, Ia developing water, construct ing vast irrig sting cspals and storage reservoirs, for :he benefit of the public domain. The General stoutly argues that the government may do this with the same or eTen greater Propre;y than it spends millions upon millions in nm proving rivers and hsrbors for the gen ersl gooG. Hon. Mark 4. Smith, Arizo- mas delegate in Congress, has already presented the matter to that body, but so far without any definite action being tsken.-Pomona (Cal) Times.

A Boston nnr,s Tops.

One top is named StOucwall Jackson, because of an UnCOnqucrablc tendency to ''ride Ghead'' of tlc rest. This name shows that Barbara Frei;chie" has stuck fin the memory of at least one small boy. Another long legged top, which has n de cidcd preference for stationary attitude in spinning, and wears an aspect of pa- tient, smiling dignity, is naIled Gen. Grant, because, its owner said, it sug- gested 10 him Gen. Grant sitting in his window and smiling down on the children going by tO church''-ObviOusly an incl dent of the generals last illness which had impressed the small boys imagina- tiOn. There is a certain battered old top. scanned with lashings and perforated with hostile peg holes, which nevertheless lies very close to it's owners heart, and which proudly bears the designation, always quoted at It's full length, of Daniel Web ster, the old war horse" One ton has the name of Pegasus. a title which the Listener" fondly fancied showed a clas- sical tendency on the part of Tomny's tastes until, upon inquiry, he found that it was borrowed from the name of n highly approved locomotive on the Boston and Lowell railroad.

Financial BlaekmaIler, In London.

It is a fayOrite plan of the promoters of American enterprise to seek capital in Europe, notably in London and Amster- dam. lt Is not an easy task by any means tO induce foreign capitalists to invest in new projects on this side of the water. especially since there have been so many enterprises taken up by them in which their money has been spent without re turn, and they are apt tO look upon every thing that has an American stamp as a wholesale swindle until they have looked closely into it. But they are not without LIieks themselves in London. The presi- dent OI leading railroad corporation who ms raised large amounts of money there at dliterent times for various enterprises said the other day: You can be sure of nothing in London in raising money until you nave the cash in bank had S1 600.

TIE doings of the century has taught people to cast suspicion of doubt upon 10 project however problemstlcal or OhimeTicsl it may seem. And now that e plan hgs come before the country to connect Europe by pneumatic tubes, il hss excited no surprise and the belief is general that as soon as details have been perfected, work on the line will actually be. begun. The return tubes being con- tiauous with the outgoing, an unbroken current can be maintained of almost sny gi-en velocity.

RrssIAIs 4OO PFRIoDIcALs.

Putting aside 200 periodicals published in other than the Russian language, the 400 Russian periodicals are classified as follows: Daily, 5; weekly, S; monthly, S7; several times per week, 10; several times per year, 1S3. Nearly One-half the Russian periodicals are published in the capital of the empire, St. Petersburg, and One-third in seven of the largest towns, leaving for the rest of the great empire less than 100 periodicals. In the czar's country there are many towns of 10000, 20.OO0, or even 40, 900 inhabitants which have not a periodical of any kind. The whole of Siberia, with 1000, 900 of population, has only two newspapers and bi-mOnthly of c geographical society.
 According tO the official statistics fur nished by the post department last year in Ru5sia there passed through tue mail about 77,5OO, OOO copies of Russian peri odicals of all sorts, and i, ,JO0, OOO of for eign periodicals were received in Russia. Thus tt appears that there is not for each subject of the cZGr during year even a single copy Of any periodical, Russian or fOreiC1.
 Why is the Russian press SO insiCnifl- cant as to its yOlunes Some say it k be- cause fully so per ceuc. of the Russians are iHiterate.. But .f the educated and schoOled Russians would read newspapers as freely as Americans do, then in Russia there would bc 5000 periodicals instead of 600. There are other caases that make the cz4r's country almost newspaperItss. In the first place, there is no political lie at all, and the industrial life there is in its embryonic state. Russians have not so much news tJ exchange as the people in other countries have. In the second place, the auIocratic government systematically and most stTenUcusly Op- poses the growth of thc press. Czars have always been aware that writers, even though in the clutches of cenSOrs and under political super isiOn, are apt t0 think for themselves, Go argue and tu cI!ticiSe- Thus they develop in them selves and in their readers the qualities most decidedly objectionable in imperial subjects. Every job printer in Russia must procure police certificate of good character and furnis. bonds, and every publisher, besides 'Gesc qualifications, must maintain an imperial inspector at his own establishment
 In Russia every editor of prominence must pass part Of lis life in prison. If We add Co that the fatal ministerial warn- ings, prohibition of inserting advertise meuts, heavy fines and suspension. We shall wonder not that there are 50 few periodicals, but that among Russians there are men and women ready to enter the career of journalist, which ranks in dange, next tO that of COuspirator.-NOs- COW Letter.

 A complete stagnation threatens the Russian press. It is not because nowa- days there are no able writers in Russia. The trouble is that the present minister of the interior, Count D. TOlstOi, has sue ceeded in abOlishing all the noted journals conducted by talented and independents writers. The list of the periodical pubii- cations that have been suppressed during the last six years Is far more interesting and valuable than all the papers now hv- ing. Now there is no originality about Russian journals, no freshness and none of that domestic stirring interest which in the days gone by used to so much at- tract attention in all parts of the great empire.
 The suspended GolOs (The Voice has left fully 5000 subscribers without any paper to their taste, for none Of them dare to defend the constitutional form or the government as The GOlOs did In the sixties, when the cZar-liberatOr tried to free the press from the iron grip of the censor.

The coTOner's Jury summoned from here viewed the scene of Ihe e1plC- siou. The inquest began last night, but adjourned unlil Monday sYeniRg,
 LAIER:-AH of the witnesses being exaui0ed before the corOneT's inquest state they destiEctiy heard two reports, the first a sharp, sDd ;he second kind Of dull roar. From this and other CIT cumstsnees 1t IS thought Ihe explosion of ihe boiler was occasiOned by placing nitro glycerine, giant powder or some other powerful explosive ID such 8 way that the heat from ihe boiler exploded it, and that IL was placed III the boiler through The safety valve, EhIob, as one witness stated, could eGsily be accom- plIshed.
